Good to see he recognised that we were probably worse this week compare to the previous weeks with the ball in hand.
Ryles didn't look too happy.
It's a good sign that Ryles isn't too impressed
I think most on here would like to see Ryles drop Penisini and give Papalii a go alongside Lomax. I think that combination would work.
I was hoping Penisini got an injury or a suspension, for Ryles to make that change.
Papalii would struggle in defence
I wouldn't be happy with tonight's performance.
The errors have been there and cost us all season the fact that Newcastle are really really poor saved us tonight.They are a team on the opposite trajectory we are.While it's great having a win Parra really need to make hay during the SoO period.If we can't make a push here we'll consistently be in that spoon discussion.
I mean why is it good that JR isn't impressed what exactly is there to be impressed by.As mentioned we've still making far too many errors and have been since pre season nothings changed.
Ball movement & defence were both impressive, imo. The Eels attack looks unique, when those errors decrease and it begins to click more consistently, they will have a lot of points in them.
Half the teams errors were by 2 players
The Eels defence continues to strengthen & look more & more connected & confident.
Newcastle may not be a good side but they still have Ponga & Sharpe who are lightning. Both were held very well as JR said.
Lomax, JAC, Walker & Williams have all been very astute signings. The have made a huge difference.
Every week am blown away by how smart a footballer Dylan Walker is, really had not noticed previously.
Agree NOS and I really liked what Mitch said about a concerted effort defensively on tackles 1/2/3 to limit go forward.
Ive been banging on about that for a while, the team is starting to show some nous .
As you say we're playing a unique brand of football which excites me.
We need to be a club that drives innovation, that's where we'll find success.
Ryles and his team have impressed me a lot , the playing group are on board and singing his praises.
You get Moses and Lomax in origin camp talking up Ryles , all of a sudden you get a buzz about the club.
Players are looking to sign and it's easier to retain our promising youngsters.
I like what I see, success is closer then many think.
Absolutely Bup, that was interesting from Mitch. It's great to get some genuine insights this season from Mitch, Junior & JR in pressers.
Agree, the foundations are building and like you, get the feeling it might click sooner rather than later - possibly towards end of year, feel we might go on a bit of a run?
The errors are frustrating, but they are already improving outside of two players, and where errors are occurring is also improving - in oppositions half, as opposed to ours.
Iongi is clearly working hard behind the scenes as the last two weeks he has looked far more comfortable under kick pressure, a FB's errors are far more costly, so its very good to see his confidence grow.
But errors are easy fixes in the scheme of things? Attitudes, defence, 1%ers, not so much?
There have been monumental improvements in defence - structure, communication, patience, energy, contact, work ethic, fight & all the 1%ers. Everything.
That is exactly what you & I, and plenty of others, were hopeful would be the first point of call for Ryles & while its not perfect, its clear as day how far its come & continues to come.
People say Newcastle are shit, fair, but in seasons past we found ways to let shit teams through us or around us, we gave them ways to work themselves into the game.
Last night the Eels built genuine scoreboard pressure, and while Knights aren’t great, they still have attack in them & we closed that down.
Obviously, a lot there to improve on, but if JR & Co. can achieve these improvements in defence & attack with a side this far under the cap, they're very positive signs for whats ahead with a stronger roster?
We tread carefully of course, but Im with you Bup, I think it will click sooner than we though.
Thankyou friggin baby Jebus
this is music to my ears 💙💛
